Phi Beta Kappa Will Celebrate Anniversary Throughout Country
No. 67
Programs Will Include Reports on Raising of $1,000,000
Endowment
In celebration of the 198th anniversary of the founding of Phi Beta Kappa, the united chapters and alumni associations throughout the United States will hold meetings or dinners in celebration of the event.

This anniversary will be a particularly momentous occasion, constituting a reunion of the members of Phi Bota Kappa to make plans for the subsequent next year. Important features of the programs of many of these universities are the learning the history of the fraternity and reports of the progress made in the raising of the 149th anniversary endowment fund.
The endowment fund was proposed with three objects in view: the erection of a Pif Beta Kappa building at William and Mary College in Williamsburg, Va., as a memorial to the 50 founders of the fraternity; the fo fathers of the fraternity; and a more widespread recognition of the value of high scholarship among university, college and high school students; and the support of the regular activities of the fraternity. The goal of the fund is $1,000,000, equivalent to a contribution of $25 by every member of the fraternity; the institution of the memorial building at William and Mary College is already well under way.

The Kansas State Tuberculosis Association estimates that by continuing the same work for the next five years that it has during 1925, the number of tuberculosis patients in the state can be reduced one-half. In 1600 the death rate for tuberculosis in the United States was 293 for every 100,000 clients, but the death rate from the disease has progressed so favorably that in *t* quarter of a century the death rate has been reduced to 37.

At present there are 125 cases in
Douglas county which cost appross-
imately $40,000 a year. A good deal of this cost is born by the
country, and a saving of $82,500 a year for the county could be effected
from all of the patients were reduced one half.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1625
The $2,000 raised last year by the sale of the soils in Doughous county enabled the county to have monthly tuberculosis clinics; to employ Miss Ruth Johnson, special tuberculosis nurses, who gave full time last March when the school was closed to the disease; and to bring Dr. MaBele Trus to the schools outside of Lawrence where many children were examined and their defects brought to light, which if corrected, should prevent many cases of the disease later.

Choice of Plans Offered for Poll to Be Taken in Mass Meeting Tuesday
Tuesday
Tomorrow in conventation a poll will be taken on the question of whether or not the United States should enter the world court; and if so, according to what terms. Three plans are presented for participation in the court.

It was constructed in an effort to reconcile the "irreconcilables" and will probably be presented to the Senate in its debate upon the question of foodlock between the opposing forces.
The plan provides for the immediate adherence of the United States to the Court Protocol, with the "Harding order" to bring about a compromise order to bring about a compromise with opponents of the court, it makes these further stipulations: That within two years all members of the World Council will have joined in making a general treaty embodying the outlawry of war, the coification of international law based upon peace instead of war, and the granting of powers to the International Court worldwide controversies.
The plan also provides for the conditional adherence of the United States to the World Court in manasch as the above treaties are not made according to these principles, the United States will terminate the associate member in the USA.
Borah Is Opponent
Among the most radical opponents of the World Court is Scn. William E. Borah, chairman of the senate committee on Foreign Relations. He declares that the Permanent Court of International Justice is not a World Court; that it is a department of the League and an instrument created by
Other arguments against the Court are that the Court is a child of the League and that the United States would eventually be drawn into it; that the jurisdiction of the Court is not obligatory; that there is no provision for the enforcement of its decisions; and that world power should about by statute law, but rather by the slow process of evolution.
